Adjutant Dragonlice didn't answer, just stood there with his head bowed.

Catherine thought for a few minutes about the adjutant's acquiescence. She laughed self-deprecatingly, "I'm really not a person who is willing to take risks, although taking risks also means great gains." I don't need you to tell me anything, I'm going to see for myself. ”

The dragon lice lieutenant still didn't speak. Catherine added, "I'll take a legion with me, so I shouldn't be taking too much risk." ”

The lieutenant dragon lice kept his mouth shut and remained silent.

When it was time to set out, Catherine ordered the strength of two regiments in one breath for her own safety, and then the scout led the way to the so-called cave to see what was going on.

The army marched for more than two hours. Catherine's mood became more and more dull as she progressed through the monotonous scenery along the way, until a striking object appeared in the distant sky, which lifted the spirit of the female mage.

The destination is just ahead.

As the distance to the end of the line gradually decreased, the female mage slowly saw what was floating in the sky. It turned out to be a huge skull fragment. Judging from the shape of the fragments, it should be the side part of the face of a skull, as it happens to retain the position of the eyes and is easily recognizable.

As Adjutant Dragonlice said, the scout's language skills are insufficient to fully express what he sees. In fact, the so-called "hole" is the eye socket on the skull fragment.

The black eye sockets are deep and deep, as if silently watching everything on the ground. The surface of the skull fragments is a smooth grayish-white color. The whole piece of debris was not static, it floated slowly through the air. It seems to be drifting in a certain direction.

The shattered skull splinters faced the sky, and Catherine could see lush trees looming above them as she was in the distance. However, the actual height of the skull from the ground is very high, and when you get closer, you can't see the scene from above.

Since the ground of this world was empty, the massive skull fragments cast a large, strange shadow on the ground, like a black lake. Instead of taking the troops into the shadows, Catherine stopped vigilantly in the distance.

Looking from where the female mage was standing, the skull fragments had become like a mountain in front of them. It obscured most of its vision from top to bottom, and a continuous "roar" was heard in the air, indicating that the skull fragments were flying forward.

"Mr. Professor. Have you seen this before?" asked the female mage the goblin scholar standing beside her.

The old goblin was one of the leaders of the two legions that came with him. Responsible for the duties of the front army and the opening of the road. It was his men who found the skull fragments and came to inform Catherine, who was walking in the middle of the line.

The old goblin began to observe this strange skull fragment long before Catherine. He shook his head at the sight of Catherine's question, but the old goblin pointed behind him and said, "The head of the First Army probably knows." He was the longest-serving of the Ten Captains of the Expeditionary Force, and he had even met two of the former Overseers. ”

Catherine immediately summoned the head of the First Army of the Queen's Palace. Asked him the same question.

"That's the cloud. The First Army's answer was strange.

"Clouds?" the female mage looked up again. How could there be such grotesque clouds.

"Where did the clouds come from?"

"I don't know. ”

"Where are you going to fly then?"

"I don't know. ”

"What do you know?"

"I don't know anything. "The head of the First Army stood respectfully as an adjutant. "I've seen a cloud once before, because the second Overseer of the Expeditionary Force had also ordered my legion to escort him. ”

"You've been here?" Catherine hurriedly asked.

"Not here. The head of the First Army thought for a moment, "It's another cloud." in the other direction. ”

There are multiple skull fragments floating in the sky, which makes sense.

"What did the second Overseer do when he saw the clouds? Did you go into the hole?" Catherine pointed to the eye sockets on her skull, "if the cloud you saw last time also had a hole." ”

"There is no hole, and the cloud is not as big as this one. However, the second Overseer did go to the clouds alone and never returned. The answer given by the head of the First Army made Catherine a little frightened.

"How did he get there?"

"I don't know. My legion waited by the clouds for three days before the second Overseer ordered me to lead my army back to the garrison. He stayed alone and did not go back. ”

"Not true. Catherine frowned, "Since you didn't stay, how did you know that he went to the clouds?"

"That's what the adjutant said. The head of the First Army replied in the affirmative, with trust in the lieutenant of the dragon lice in his tone, "The adjutant's words are never wrong, he only tells the truth." ”

Catherine's brow furrowed even tighter. "You trust the adjutant very much, do you also follow his orders?" The female mage has a real commander in her soul, so she is extremely wary of the hidden meaning of the words of the first army.

"I do follow the orders of the adjutant, but only if there are no Overseers in the Expeditionary Force. The orders of the Overseer are always the first, and the orders of the Adjutant are the second. The head of the First Army said without the slightest hesitation.

The old goblin also said, "Yes, I know that, too. I don't know who told me, but I just know. When there were no Overseers, when the Dog Legion attacked, the Adjutant was in charge of the overall command and defense. ”

Hearing these explanations, Catherine's brow furrowed.

"And how did the second Overseer find the clouds, and did the Overseers of the Dog Legion bring him here?"

The Evil Star can fly, and I'm afraid even the woods above the skull fragments can go.

"I don't know. The head of the First Army simply repeated his "favorite" phrase.

Catherine had expected this, and in her opinion, the dragon lice lieutenant was the key to solving the mystery. It's just that that guy seems to be deferential, but in fact, because he has too many secrets, it is difficult for the female mage to really trust.

"Do you want to explore this cloud?" The old goblin still has some experience, although his brain is not good. He could guess Catherine's intentions.

"The Evil Star must have brought me here for a purpose. Catherine didn't answer the old goblin's question directly, "I won't act rashly until I know the purpose." ”

"And what are you going to do?" the old goblin nodded.

"Go back, of course. You gather your troops now. ”

Without waiting for the old goblin to ask again, Catherine turned her head and gave another order to the head of the First Army: "You take the troops to stay here, don't get too close to the clouds." I want you to keep an eye on this cloud, and if you see a star appear, whether it is coming out of the cloud or going up, send someone to inform me at once. (To be continued......)
